Add a touch of elegance and movement to your garden with Hakonechloa macra 'Beni-kaze', a stunning fully hardy Japanese Forest Grass. Graceful and ornamental, this grass boasts arching leaves that transition from vibrant green to a striking mix of golden-yellow and purple-red in the autumn. Creating a dramatic, colourful display, in spring and summer it adds a soft, flowing texture to your landscape, as pale yellow-green flower spikes gently sway in the breeze. 'Beni-kaze' thrives in partially shaded locations, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or container planting. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and is known for being very low maintenance, making it perfect for both beginner and seasoned gardeners. Whether you're looking to add vibrant colour, texture, or movement to your garden, Hakonechloa macra 'Beni-kaze' delivers. Reaching a height and spread of around 40-50cm, its stunning foliage, combined with its graceful form, makes it a perfect addition to any landscape.
